Reports To: Engineering Manager
Role
- Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites and CI-integrated test infrastructure across Axon
Device Manager, Axon Device Check Out, and Fleet 3 Dashboard.
- Work across teams with Product, Design, and Engineering to establish a shared quality standard — driving
shift-left adoption, engineer-owned test planning, and automation coverage that scales with feature velocity.
- Focus on execution: set a high technical bar for the team through test-plan reviews, automation code
reviews, and by embedding testability into feature design early in the development cycle.
What You Bring
- 2+ years of industry experience building and maintaining automated test suites for mobile applications
shipped to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
- Understand the ins and outs of mobile quality — expected to lead mobile test-plan reviews as well as the
implementation, release validation, and post-release monitoring of automation and regression suites.
- Hands-on experience with mobile UI automation frameworks: Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, or Detox — including
test framework design, page-object patterns, and stable-selector strategy.
- Experience testing React Native applications end-to-end, including native module bridging, cross-platform
test parity, and instrumentation for RN-specific failure modes.
- Fluency with unit and integration testing patterns paired to modern mobile architectures (MVVM, MVI,
Redux/Zustand on RN) and the tradeoffs between unit, integration, and E2E coverage.
- Experience validating REST/JSON API contracts and remote data flows via test tooling (Postman, RestAssured,
mock servers, contract testing).
- Understanding of networking protocols such as TCP, UDP, DHCP, DNS, Server-Sent Events, and WebSockets —
with the ability to debug flaky tests down to the transport layer (Wireshark or Charles a plus).
Nice To Have
- Experience testing SDKs and hardware-integrated flows: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Networking, Camera (Photo/Video),
Audio, File Management, and connections to third-party hardware.
- Experience validating video streaming and IoT device connectivity over BLE or Wi-Fi — including test rigs,
device farms, or hardware-in-the-loop automation.
- Experience with CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Firebase Test Lab, AWS Device Farm) for
scaling mobile automation.
- Familiarity with test management tools (Zephyr Scale, TestRail) and observability tooling (Datadog, Splunk,
Firebase Crashlytics) for correlating test signals with production quality.
- Competitive salary and 401k with employer match
- Discretionary paid time off
- Paid parental leave for all
- Medical, Dental, Vision plans
- Fitness Programs
- Emotional & Mental Wellness support
- Learning & Development programs
- And yes, we have snacks in our offices
